¹¹ For this command which I give you this day is not grievous, neither is it far from you. ¹² It is not in heaven above, [as if there were one] saying, Who shall go up for us into heaven, and shall take it for us, and we will hear and do it? ¹³ Neither is it beyond the sea, saying, Who will go over for us to the other side of the sea, and take it for us, and make it audible to us, and we will do it? ¹⁴ The word is very near you, in your mouth, and in your heart, and in your hands to do it.
